2. YES. TEST ONLY TELL FEW THINGS. Better to have good habits first.
3. Atherosclerosis is the main cause for heart attack and stroke. Risk factors for heart attack and coronary artery disease include: * Increasing age (over age 65) * Male gender * Diabetes * Family history of coronary artery disease (genetic or hereditary factors) * High blood pressure * Smoking * Too much fat in your diet * Unhealthy cholesterol levels, especially high LDL ("bad") cholesterol and low HDL ("good") cholesterol * Chronic kidney disease
4. Too much low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or "bad cholesterol" from animal products like butter and red meat in the blood causes plaque to form on artery walls. This starts a process called atherosclerosis. When plaque builds up in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart, you are at greater risk of having a heart attack. A person has a stroke when oxygen and nutrients fail to reach the brain due to a blood clot or when there's bleeding in the brain due to the bursting of blood vessels. There are inexpensive mobile health screening services that can tell you if you are at risk for heart attack or stroke before it's too late.
5. The term "massive heart attack" is often wrongly used in the media to describe sudden death. . It occurs within minutes after symptoms appear. The most common underlying reason for patients to die suddenly from cardiac arrest is coronary heart disease (fatty buildups in the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle). There are two types of massive stroke. An ischemic stroke is the most common type of stroke, and happens when a clot develops in an artery that supplies the brain with blood. The second type of stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, is caused by bleeding inside the brain. This may be the result of long-term high blood pressure or a ruptured cerebral aneurysm. A simple way to diagnose cardiac abnormalities is by having an electrocardiogram (ECG) test which records the electrical signals from the heart. In patients with acute stroke, only one in eight have a warning from a prior transient ischemic attack, according to a study published in the September issue of Neurology. It's possible that the blood vessels in people with warning strokes were "preconditioned to the lack of blood flow, which protected them from the full damage caused by the larger stroke. The same can be said for heart attack without warning.
